A safe pick to become one of the NFL’s most on-the-rise offenses given their youthful potential at every skill position, the Atlanta Falcons discovered that in Week 1, Ray-Ray McCloud’s veteran presence had equally-important value. Proving himself trustworthy with his quarterback’s pocket quickly collapsing, McCloud — with five different Pittsburgh Steelers soon to encircle him — took flight for a 20-yard reception in the second quarter. The Falcons would ultimately fall 18-10 on Sept. 8, 2024, though against his former team, McCloud was productive, turning in four catches (on a team-high seven targets) for 52 yards.
